Remote login (e.g. ssh) usually does not use tty terminals, but sth. like pts devices. You may want - despite Corona688's advice - to add some pts/n to your /etc/securetty file.

...or just not do that. Typically you'd login as a regular user then su or sudo. This restriction is for a reason.

Typically root login is only allowed from the console - not via telnet, ssh, etc.

You need edit /etc/securetty and add the appropriate entries.

root-login is limited to terminals listed in /etc/securetty.
